[ard]

Hi,

I duplicate my thread, because sentra/g20 forum seems to be not very informative.So, as it says:

Does anybody have a picture of installed sandwich plate on fwd sr20de?I have few clearance issues.

Thanks.

Im actually fighting the same situation. Only diffrence is im doing mine on a fwd sr20det engine. I'll try to take some pics when i figure something out. By the way are the sr20de and sr20det engines the same as far as location of things? Ex: is the oil filter mounted in the same location?

Yes it is.

The problem im having with my sandwich plate is that the stud where the oil filter goes is too long. its about 4 inches long and only the bottom 2 inch have threads so the fitting that holds the sandwich plate up against the block doesn't reach the thread and 2. even if the 4 inch long stud were threaded all the way the sandwich plate is only about 1 inch thick which leaves me with 3 extra inches of stud. It's a weird situation.

i've yet to find a good solution to our sandwich plate sitiuation. But i did come across this oil filter adaptor and wonder if it may be better use this and a oil filter relocation kit. I belive you would have to remove the stock oil filter mounting plate and bolt this up in its place.
